Fundraising Continues…

I am obsessed with soliciting donations to the fun fair silent auction. See the local businesses that are donating items here. The thing is that I am not even on the committee. Oh well, I have been getting such a great response. Now I can’t stop. I’ve been contacting local Etsy crafters and artists. They have been awesome!

Each of these guys have agreed to donate something. Go to the links. Let’s make them see it’s worth it. Who wouldn’t want some of this stuff???

It is December already?

It always sneaks up on me, but this year it seems December has really flown by. Can Christmas really be right around the corner. My daughter has really embraced this holiday more than any prior years. She is giddy and thrilled that we have been able to do some crafts together. Thought I’d share the swags we made. I am getting very excited to celebrate.
